The name, recorded from the 19th century onwards, refers to the resemblance of the closed set to the round sweet buns sold in the bakeries of Brighton.<br \/>\r\nPopular with travellers and particularly favoured by military officers on campaign for their sturdiness and portability, these candlesticks were produced in brass, bronze and silver, with documented manufacture until the mid-19th century. Silver examples continued to be made later in the century with more streamlined forms. Today they are sought after as practical and inventive objects that reflect the culture of travel in their period.<br \/>\r\n<br
